   Ditto on the competition space. In my mind, letting Amazon and Google fight out the epic war of machine learning / intelligence will only yield better APIs for those of us wanting to leverage such technologies.

   Eh - let them have their metaphorical fifteen minutes of fame. HN treats Apple keynote days, Microsoft Build conference days, etc, with exactly the same... er, enthusiasm :)

   This is one of those rare ideas that is so stupidly simple, that it comes back around to being brilliant. Setting this up myself tomorrow.

   Although I feel the product / business was unethical, that reflects more on leadership than it necessarily does on the individual employee. It's never a good outcome when decent people lose their livelihood; I wish all involved lu

   Terrible to see a family relationship ruined by corporate positioning. I hope all involved find peace.

   This is the sort of argument that has a chance of succeeding with the republican majority.

    So you can submit ideas here I see. I submitted a plea to embrace climate change from an economic standpoint - "renewable energy technologies will be in high demand, and there is a huge opportunity for whichever nation is first to mark

    I hope both parties learn something form this result. Establishment Republicans and the DNC alike have had their asses handed to them handily. I suspect the Democrats will need to move more towards the progressive wing to be competitive in

    Based on some of the comments here, a sarcasm disclaimer might be necessary on the repo!

    I would love a benchmark comparing this with and without compression! Very interesting possibility to deal with the 4TB game library problem :p

    I think best comparison is to RIAA in United States, back in 1995-2008 or so during lawsuit years. They have a tantrum and scorched earth policy.

    Before, YT was completely unusable in Germany. You're right about GEMA, but it's a win for most ordinary people. Unfortunately many other streaming sites are useless still in all of EU. Netflix for example. Only with VPN through U

    I hadn't seen this site before, and I think it's a great idea. Though I'm young, I am certainly terrified about the trend of age discrimination in the valley - after all, we all age! I'm glad to folks trying to make a me

    Indeed. I am an Austrian expat in San Jose; the public transit in the Bay is at best a sad joke compared to Vienna.

    This. Considering the only options for a "city" are San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland, Apple has quite literally no chance of snapping up that much raw square footage without moving out into the more suburban areas of the valley

    Normally I would think this is a ridiculous approach, but given the purpose of the app is literally developer docs, it might just work.

    Yeah I am also grandfathered, I have my last name as a domain. I'm surprised they don't offer a free or at least very cheap plan for personal users doing this.

    Late 20s here, in a more advantageous financial situation than the folks in the article. I honestly don't know what I'd do with myself. I'd be lying if I said early retirement hadn't crossed my mind, but just from the ex
